No, what Arnold is doing is race pandering.

He is calling American citizens racists and bigots because they are asking for the laws to be enforced, and that no special dispensation ibe given to those who have broken and are breaking the laws of this country.

"Get real. Prejudice -- and its cousins, racism and xenophobia -- are intrinsic to the immigration debate, just as they have been in every immigration debate since the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. When people deny this, I always ask them to pinpoint the moment in American history when this great nation got over the tendency to make the debate about keeping out specific groups of people. They can't -- because it never did." -- Ruben Navrette, from the same article.

No, no, no. You don't understand. They didn't break any laws, they made "mistakes" and "we all make mistakes", don'tcha know.

Schwarzenegger told the newspaper that he believes in redemption and thinks the American people do as well. They "like to see that you have done things (to make up) for the mistake you made -- because we all make mistakes," he said.

Does Arnold know that there is a network of Filipinos in California, many right in the Sacramento area, who have "overstayed" their "visit" and are here illegally?

They are a very sophisticated, intelligent network with lawyers who forge documents for them. I have names, addresses and phone numbers but NOTHING IS DONE!!!!

Hey Arnold, clean up your own backyard before you start criticizing the Federeal Government. You sound like Ray Nagin.

Absolutely.
And when someone says they don't blame the illegal aliens for breaking our laws, what does that mean? Of course you must blame someone for a transgression. If you understand why they did it, that's fine, but to say they are not to blame is the highest form of silliness. Someone is not to blame if they did something not knowing it was wrong, or if what they did indeed wasn't wrong. The only ones blameless in this would be children brought over by their parents.
